JOURNEY Hotel

I chose this guesthouse again, and it's quite well-designed among the accommodations in Chaozhou Ancient City, with a distinctive style. The owner is also very welcoming. However, the service and room details could use improvement. Perhaps business was good, as the room was still being cleaned when I arrived, so I walked around the area for a bit. When I entered the room in the afternoon, there was still a strong disinfectant smell from the cleaning, which got better after some ventilation, but the exhaust fan was quite noisy. The guesthouse doesn't offer breakfast, but the front desk recommended some delicious local Chaozhou rice noodle rolls. When I ordered takeout, it was left at the front desk, and I had to go downstairs to pick it up (I later found out this is to prevent delivery drivers from knocking on the wrong doors and disturbing guests; if needed, you can call the front desk to have it brought up). Overall, it's quite suitable for young people looking for photo opportunities. The guesthouse is on an island, so if you want to go to the ancient city, it's best to rent an electric bicycle for convenience. It's a bit inconvenient on rainy days, otherwise, you'll need to use a ride-hailing service (the starting fare is around 8-9 RMB). The guesthouse has an indoor parking lot and a courtyard, which are definite highlights.

The room has a unique character, located on an island in the middle of the river, surrounded by a village with many convenient dining options. It's also not far from the ancient town, about a ten-minute walk. Very, very good!

The overall environment is very good. I initially thought we were in the middle of nowhere, but in daylight, I saw it had a lot of local character. The location is also excellent, very close to the ancient city. However, cleanliness needs improvement; the details aren't great, and the sofa definitely needs cleaning. The staff attitude was good; they helped us change rooms. However, the first-floor rooms had a musty smell. Since we arrived quite late, we just went to sleep. Overall, the service and experience were very good.

The location of the guesthouse is so-so, but the cleanliness and service are quite good. A highlight is the free indoor parking. It would be even better if breakfast were provided.

To be honest, I chose to stay here because I was attracted by the design style. The actual environment is better than the pictures. It is located on an island, which is convenient for food, accommodation and transportation. The key is that it is not far from the ancient city. You can visit the local Fenghuangzhou Park in 5 minutes on foot. The hotel is clean and beautiful. The courtyard in the middle of the entrance is definitely a highlight. You can take pictures immediately. Chatting and drinking coffee here in the evening is really enjoyable! The service staff has a good attitude and is very polite. They will take the initiative to say hello. It was a very comfortable stay. I will stay here again next time.

The front desk staff who checked in were very professional, with good service attitude and awareness. The service staff were very friendly and would take the initiative to greet us. The room supplies were all big-name products, and the water was from Watsons, which is very rare and beautiful! It was very quiet at night, and the mattress and pillows were very comfortable. It was a great stay.

The location is easy to find, and the navigation goes directly to it. On an island, the B&B facilities are very new, and the decoration style belongs to the exotic Moroccan design. It can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it. It is not far from the ancient city. It is recommended to take a taxi directly or rent an electric bicycle from the B&B. The public area is really beautiful, and the environment is clean.
